PDSES/TEFA Grants
Anchored is an approved provider for Texas families using PDSES and TEFA funds.
Coaching is led by Grizelda Anguiano, a Certified Professional Coach with specialized training in executive function coaching, who is also a board-certified pediatrician.
If your child in grades 3 to 12 struggles with organization, time management, getting started, or following through, these funds can go toward one-on-one executive function coaching at Anchored.

PDSES (Parent-Directed Special Education Services)
A one-time grant of $1,500 per eligible child (not recurring).
For a student enrolled in a Texas public school and receiving special education through an IEP.
Funds are released first-come, first-served, so apply as soon as possible.
Good to know: your $1,500 PDSES grant covers the 16-session coaching package in full.
TEFA (Texas Education Freedom Account)
Anchored is an approved vendor for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years. TEFA is for students who are eligible for public school but not enrolled, including homeschool and private-school families. Having an IEP helps.

What the coaching is
One-on-one, in person or virtual executive function coaching for students in grades 3 to 12, including students with ADHD, learning differences, and executive function challenges. Coaching builds the skills school depends on but rarely teaches: organization, planning, time management, task initiation, working memory supports, self-monitoring, and follow-through. It is supplemental to the services a student's school district provides.

Anchored Coaching is educational skill instruction and operates as a separate business from any medical practice. It is not therapy, medical treatment, testing, or diagnosis, and it does not replace services a student is entitled to through an IEP or 504 plan.
